Today , I had my first swim meet! I was SO nervous! There were so many people there , and most of them we pretty competitive, being that I only entered for the fun of it ... I was feeling a little out of place.. I only just started swimming again this year and most of these people have been swimming a REALLY long time. Although they seperate the groups in level of expirience I was still feeling pretty jittery. My first race was set to begin and as I stood on the platform I was awaiting the annoucer ( usually they say on your marks which is where you prepare to dive and the buzzer goes and you dive in). The annoucer decided to refrain from getting us prepared and the buzzer went. I have rather slow reflexes so I was still waiting for him to talk.. it added a good couple seconds and a fail attempt at a dive which slowed me down a lot. I ended up coming last but it was only encouragment too keep practicing so I can do better next time!

" My Daddy always said Childhood is the happiest time of your life but my Mom says its the time you try to get over for the rest of your life. I think my Mom is right"-Hope Floats

I'm so happy that somebody finally said that, Ive always been so regretful of my not so happy childhood for a long long time. Hearing this finally made me feel like why do I have to feel so eager to follow the mould of everyone else? Ill be happy doing what I want at any time of my life, its not all downhill from here..

Today, I accompanied Sara on her expedition to get her tragus pierced. We bused in the blistering heat to Osmosis and once we finally made it there, the piercer lady would'nt do it without I.D. Needless to say we were both pretty pissed and the heat wasnt helping our angry moods. Although we made a rather refreshing stop at Tim Hortons ( my favorite fast food ) which made up for the potentially deadly weather. Ice capps for the win! Eventually we found her drivers liscence, a half hour later she was back in the chair and $85 dollars later there was a new hoop in her ear. YAY!
